LONDON MODES

Women are borrowing a great many fashions froni.incn this spring, sncjias side "whiskers" and waistcoats, the Irouser skirt, his patch pockets, and sport coats, states a writer in an English paper. Many of tho new hat models copy the picturesque headgear worn by rnoa a hundred years agu, especially the one known as tho Napoleonic shape. But there are truly fonimno models also, of the Dolly Vardeu and the "pancake", order, trimmed with tho loveliest flowers and ribbons that -can be procured. Tho mi-coflar corsage appears to bo ft ihsng of the past, • though the bufo neck is still revealed vvii.li a background of faeo or lawn. The Medici cellar stii , - vives tho orcTeal of a few months' ve\u\ ni'Kl ttiorc are donlcey-car points risingon tfia ahoiiMeri! from the sides cf tliij corsage which have a very quaint aspeci. Tho soif cafjo vpappears iji a much more hnndsoilie form than ths cloth flue of tho past. It is now liiado of velvet or satin, and falls in graceful fol<!s from the shoulders. Bustle toilet to HWttit judgment. It is felt that they will survive, after dtie rogulatiou, for tho house dress, but that tho tunie-basque will be a more highly favoured dress ornament for general v.-ear.
